Just used Officeworks price match against Tobydeals $299.25 sale price on the Nokia 8 to get for $284.29. Note: Price match at Officeworks may be rejected as this model is dual sim (Officeworks is selling single sim).

Currently $548 at Officeworks (saving $263.71). Not showing on OW website (stock will vary store to store, superseded by Nokia 8 Sirocco).

Not a bad deal considering I paid ~$320 for a Nokia 6 not long after release and this puppy had a (too-high) RRP of $899.

Cons for me

  • no Android One, will get Android 9 Pie.
  • camera, although marketed as Ziess, isn't the best.
  • no qi

Pros for me

  • Snapdragon 835
  • expandable storage via microSD
  • USB-C
  • Band 28

        Sorry, I definitely mentioned it wasn't on their (OW) website.

      Good stuff.
      I bought the Nokia 7 plus 2 days ago because I couldn't get OW to price match the 8 at about 4 different stores.

    • sevenseacat on 14/11/2018 - 21:23

      Officeworks Malaga insulted my husband when he showed them this receipt as evidence of a price match. They treated him like a scammer, and refused to even look at the deal because it was for a dual sim model, not single sim.

      Very upset by this.

      • slimdealin on 14/11/2018 - 21:25

        Have you tried the 1300 number on their price beat page? Kick up a stink!

          I'm going to, just because of how he was treated.

            @sevenseacat: Should leave a review on Google about your experience.

            Apparently your not the only one to get a rude person, seems like normal practice at that store.

              @[Deactivated]: *EDIT by that standard, they rate better than my local OW at Milton who get 3.3/5

              Brisbane CBD is 3.3 also.
              Browns Plains gets 3.5
              wooloongabba gets 3.9
              Oxley gets 3.5

              Shops always get bad reviews,they rarely get good ones so that's all you see. I remember some guy here complaining about his local Chinese shop and he got OzBargain riled up enough to review bomb them.

              I don't expect OfficeWorks to give me good service, just to sell me stuff quickly and price match begrudgingly.

        I've always had issues at Malaga store. You're not alone, (profanity) them seriously. They said they couldn't price match a tablet so I walked over to Harvey Norman and bought it on special

        Note that TobyDeals isn't part of Click Frenzy, they are running their own 'Tony Frenzy' deal. TobyDeals aren't an Australian retailer, they are based in Hong Kong.

    • thebargainhunter on 14/11/2018 - 16:12

        Effectively no NFC.
        I've got the phone and the NFC is dreadful and in an idiotic spot.
        Also, no status LED, which is a stupid decision.

      You'll get all the elderly women you want with a Nokia phone.
      Jk but it does have alright specs for the price and it's from a reputable brand unlike most phones with similar specs at this price.

        Don't think you'll find a phone with Snapdragon 835 for <$300 anywhere

        This is a 2017 flagship phone for a bargain price

          Oh my bad somehow that skipped over me entirely. That is the same CPU that's in Pixel 2 or some Galaxy S8s correct? if so you're right it's a bargain. +1'd accordingly.

      Currently have a LG G4, and I don't think its worth the "upgrade"

  • bctransit on 14/11/2018 - 16:13

    the question is which OW store has this model in stock?

    • slimdealin on 14/11/2018 - 16:25

      I'm not privy to that. I uploaded receipt from Albury store and they had stock (wouldn't tell me how many).

  • kmish on 14/11/2018 - 16:19

    Would the camera on this phone be better than a xiaomi redmi note 5?

    • RubenM on 14/11/2018 - 17:03

      No idea, but it's on par with the Galaxy S5 and MUCH worse than my wife's Pixel 1.

  • follow on 14/11/2018 - 16:23

      I'm in the market for a new phone, and I love my current one with notification led. From across the room I can tell if I've missed something and what it was by the colour of the led. Really hooked on this feature.

      More negs coming I'm sure…..
